Vaidehi Bhargava
World Students’ Day is celebrated annually on October 15, marking the birth anniversary of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India and renowned scientist. This day is dedicated to students worldwide, recognizing their role as future leaders and innovators.
Dr. Kalam, fondly known as the “Missile Man of India,” was a strong advocate for education and youth empowerment. He believed that students hold the potential to transform societies through their creativity, dedication, and passion for learning. His life was an embodiment of simplicity, integrity, and a commitment to fostering scientific and technological advancement.
World Students’ Day is a reminder to celebrate and encourage students’ aspirations, providing them with opportunities for growth. Schools and educational institutions often commemorate the day with motivational events, speeches, and activities aimed at inspiring students to pursue their dreams with determination and resilience, just as Dr. Kalam envisioned.
It is a day to honor not only the achievements of students but also the importance of education in building a brighter, more innovative, and inclusive future for all.
